Book excerpt: This book endeavors to inspire people to bring the native plants of their region into their gardens, into their homes and into decorative arrangements. California in a Vase is an odyssey in the art of floral design - a voyage that takes us into the Golden State's most rugged wildlands, back to our home gardens and ultimately to a vase. This is a book with a message: that the plants that define our home offer resounding beauty in any arrangement. The book features floral designs made using California native plants from The Gottlieb Native Garden and California Botanic Garden, arrangements that are refined, rustic, bold, delicate, evocative, colorful, spirited and more - as native plants can achieve any style while always speaking to a uniquely Californian aesthetic. When we make arrangements with California native plants - always supplied by home gardens, backyards, patios or balconies - we invite Californian's wild beauty into our homes. In so doing, we celebrate what makes our home special while creating habitat and supporting local fauna in the process. California in a Vase tells this story through masterful designs made at The Gottlieb Native Garden and California Botanic Garden.
